The wrong kind of oldies
Not all oldies are goodies, as a recent Toledo Blade article shows. Seems that some public school libraries failed to cull obsolete books from their collections, making it harder for students to find up-to-date ones. Imagine having to wade through history books that went back before the Vietnam war or the lunar landing.
The TeleRead take: With e-books and the right cataloguing system, of course, it would be a snap for students to use date-based filters to focus on the truly contemporary in searches where this mattered.
